The Evolution of the Animal Husbandman

University of California

Abstract

The program outlined for today's meeting implies to an outsider, that the membership of this Society, composed of workers in one of the most important fields of agricultural education, and concerned with the problems of one of the largest segments of the Nation's agriculture, is attempting to take stock of its collective efforts. It appears to be willing to challenge its procedures, to appraise its methods and techniques, and to direct its thinking toward the discovery, if possible, of ways and means of improving its educational service for the advancement of the welfare of the livestock industry. This denotes a healthy state of affairs in this sector of the agricultural education front and this Society is to be commended for its efforts in this direction.

It is perhaps axiomatic that a scientific society such as this should regard the educational process as an effective means for the permanent advancement of human welfare. Nevertheless, it is appropriate in times like the present, when so many among us, and whole nations eleswhere, have turned to other means for the advancement of their position, that we of America renew our faith in education, as a means of advancing our individual welfare and of preserving our way of life.
